For those of you who know my husband and I, you know that we're a little competitive. Granted that competitive spirit usually comes with a side of sarcasm and humor. Then again, if Chris kicks my butt in a board game, there's absolutely no humor to be found.
None.
Losing to my husband at Monopoly is NOT funny... well not until a few days later when I've cooled off and can laugh at myself for being too competitive.
Anywho, sometime in Chris' first weekend home, we were discussing something... I don't even remember what.
I think I reminded him about getting something done. You know, I wanted to make him feel "at home" by assigning him a nice long "honey do" list :) It must've been something that I asked him to do before/during the deployment because his response was along the lines of...
"Remember? I was in Afghanistan for a year?" (in a very sarcastic tone)
And my response went something like "So? I have cancer!"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND I win!
Because what beats cancer? NOTHING!
HA!
Yes, we both laughed at ourselves for the fact that we could even say something like that and now it's a running joke in our house. See? It's true that you CAN find the humor in any situation!
